The traditional heli wiki has a page on how to setup traditional heli. However it is very old and it talks of APM 2.X rather than the current PixHawk. I build a traditional heli and it fly’s pretty good. For other people who might want to build th
So I have been flying with a 3DR Pixhawk for 2 years or so now without a single hardware issue but how long can this continue to be considered as reliable?
I guess that's an almost impossible question to answer as it will be the subject of many extern
I have a Solo 3DR drone and an Intel Edison. I would like to send commands from the Edison to the drone via MAVlink. I need to keep the Edison in host mode, as I need it for vision processing; this processing will determine the commands s

Hi guys I am wondering if there is someone can have in idea why mission planner doesn't want to connect with Xplane while I am trying to run a simulation in the loop for a plane . The error showed up is that Mavlink can not receive heartbeat packets k
After several weeks I finally got my new all-aluminum frame 605mm quad-rotor flying. Ran it thru it's basic flight tests and PID tuning. And ran an endurance flight test with mixed flight modes, and not just in hover. I got 31 minutes 14 seconds f

I am planning my missions using with mission planner is there any option to get the status of Radio Control Status On/Off in mission planner or any MAV command to find the RC status Please help on this.
i have noticed the lack of research in the past 2 years (2014-2016) on system identification on quadcopters (multicopters in general). Back in 2013, i built my 1st APM based Quadcopter, and took advantage of the power that the open source provides. I
Perhaps this is the wrong board but this is my first post and we all need to start somewhere.
So I purchased a Walkera Furious 320 the other day. It was a really good deal so I could not pass it up, but it does not do what I want a drone to do. IE.
hey guys im having a problem with my ardupilot arduplane on a mugin design airplane ( the plane doesnt make sure that it accomplished the altitude wanted for the waypoint ) the error started with just 15 meter highet error and then reached to more th
I am using the Futaba R2008SB receiver with the PX4. When going through the wizard, I am unable to both test the motors nor calibrate my transmitter as it is not responsive to any movement from the control sticks. The transmit
